For a full car color change, the applicant needs to bring the original and photocopy of the identity proof of the vehicle owner, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle license and other documents, and obtain the "Motor Vehicle Change Registration Application Form". The following are the precautions and functions of car color change: Precautions for car color change: To change the color of your beloved car, it is not something that can be done at will. There are mainly two restrictions: first, the pattern and color after the body modification must not be the same as or similar to the statutory marks of police cars, ambulances, fire trucks, and engineering rescue vehicles. Secondly, the owner is not allowed to spray specific symbols such as 110, 120, etc. Function of car color change film: The car color change film is applied to the car paint surface, completely covering and isolating the external environment, protecting the car paint from corrosion by acid rain, ultraviolet rays, bird droppings, and resin, and also preventing scratches and wear caused by stones and dust on the car body.
Last year, I changed my little red sports car to blue, and the whole process went smoothly. After the color change, I needed to register the modification, so I drove directly to the DMV with my ID card, vehicle license, and the car’s registration certificate. The staff first asked me to fill out a modification registration form, then inspected the car and took photos to verify the color consistency. It took about half an hour to complete, costing a 100-yuan service fee. Remember, you must register the modification within 10 days after the change, or you could face a fine of several hundred yuan if caught by traffic police. I recommend finding a reputable modification shop and keeping the invoice, as it can serve as legal proof if the new color is too unconventional and raises issues. Overall, legal modifications give peace of mind and let you show off the new color.
